Private Goes Public

Suzanne Vega

Smile no smile

On this face today

Jerk like a thing on a string

And go join the parade



Code will keep your privacy in

It won't help to win friends

Influence strangers

Or otherwise be in the swim



Mask will keep your features in check

Cause face is the place

Where the private goes public

And steps through the gate



Take your last kick now

At any regime

Smile no smile

See if they see what you mean



Da da da...
